A-Coupled: The Roundhouse and Go Go Shoot

Anyone hear anything as to why Fabulous Strike isnt coming back to defend his title? Would have been a chip shot for him without his nemesis Kodiak Kowboy in here.

Not sure if he was nominated. Pyro was highweight at 140 lbs.

Based on that, I figure Fabulous Strike would have earned a buck fifty.

Fab Strike is done for a while.. He taking a break, he was a bit banged up, nothing terribly wrong just needed a few months. They passed on the race in Md. and The Breeders Cup was never even remotely considered.

All the speed, and the 50% chance of light rain, set things up for Ah Day, who should be set to fire(if the 6 yo still has it in him for a Grade III:) )

It's in him. Go Go Shoot might keep go go going though, that's my exacta. Box.

If your going to talk speed and rain, why wouldn't it set up for The Roundhouse who at least has shown life latley. I think he's a pig and the track seems to be playing speed to me, but I might give him a little shot in here. Look at his pp's and check out his sloppy track sprints... Those should be plenty good enough to win this. You can easily toss his last 2, look at his lifetime pp's, hes clearly not a turf/synthetic horse...

I looked a bit at Roundhouse, but Ah Day is excellent at this distance. Prioer to his return in the G I DeFrancis, he'd lost a turf race(not his forte'). Ah Day won a Grade III in Aqueduct in March of this year, the Tobaggan

Of course, Sean Avery gets in light, and Riley Tucker will attract support.
Look forward to seeing the ml odds

Its weird, because my original post I said The Roundhouse is a pig, but the more I look the more I think he has just been mismanaged. Now this track might be totally against him, but I think he should win this.

Unfortunately for you, Roundhouse is coupled with the other Repole horse Go Go Shoot. That horse will draw all kinds of money because he barely lost to Fabulous Strike at Saratoga and this is a huge class drop for him. Looks like the entry has quite the tactical edge on the field having the speed of the speed and one of the closers.

I think Go Go Shoot is too fast for these and runs them off their feet. There is a lot of speed in here, but he is just in a different league as far as early speed goes.

O **** they are coupled... They are pretty much a lock IMO. Might not even bet now.

Top Flight looks like a good one. Should be a good betting race. Wide open. Have to take a better look at the Highweight.
